Sad n prominent lawyer the other day.
Tho oath III law should, l think, he
abolished. 1t has retained its place upon
the theory that it tends to secure the
telling of the truth, but it does not. |
have been for thirty years constantly
about courts of law, and | unhesitatingly
say that any person conscientious enough
to regard an oath will tell tho truth
without one, and for those who may be
restrained by the fear of punishment for
perjury the statutes can be SO amended
a. to make lying upon the witness stand
or the subscription of false afidavits in
legal proceedings punishable by the same
penalties now attached to perjury.
During the thirty years that | have
named / havc carefully watched the
course of legal morality. and tell you
that perjury becomes daily more COM
mon and the oath lighter and more per-
functory. The clerk drawls out the form
of oath without pause OF punctuation.
The witness, with falsehood deliberate
and rehearscd in his heart, drops hia
right hand, takes the stand, the lie comes
glibly to his lips. and some mans prop
crty, reputation or liberty are sworr.
away for dollars or for a grudge.
"The incnlsiderate profanity of the
angry OF drunken man is harmless when
compared with the indolent indifference
with which officers administer and the
black perjury with which witnesses take
the oath. If we cannot make lying in
Judicial proceedings less, let us at least
make it more decent and less profane.-.

To read with profit calls for no elabo-
rate rules and no cast iron system. 1t
requires only these two things: First, that
we shall read intelligently, and to that
end that we master what we actually do
read; and, second, that We follow up
whatever interest may be aroused in
reading, SO us to make the general tenor
of our reading illustrate itself. Any per-
son who will faithfully follow these two
simple rules for one year will be surprised
at the extent, the diversity, and the con
tinuity of the knowledge he has acquired;
and others will be equally astonished at
the culture of mind and the felicity o.
speech he has attained. Within q short
time there will be few subjects upon
which he will not be prepared to speak
with pleasure to himself and others, be-
cause there will not be many subjects on
which he is not more or less informed,
and of which he has not more or less ex-
tensively thought. AS n method Of ac-
quiring the almost forgotten art of con-
versation no method of profound Study
could possibly surpass the simple method
of self culture VT have indicated. For
the greatest charm of cultivated CONVEX
sation is facility in apt and striking Illus
%tration, such as nothing but extensive and
intelligent reading can impart. st. Louis

I found the natives so peaceablc and
courteous that my firearms We're an I'M
necessary load. On one occasion, being
at the hut of n native, an invitation to
dine was accepted. No member of the
family sat down with Inc, 50 great was
their respect. They remained standing
until l had done. On leaving the men all
raised their hats. The women were
always reserved until approached, but re-
spond to gentlemaiIly inGliry with quiet
modesty. The women, according to the
usual custom, are seldom welded by &C.
clesiastical ceremony. Matrimony is too
dear as performed through the instru-
mentality of the padre, and the proba-
ton demanded by the red tape Of the
church before espousing is irlssomc. So
when the native man thinks Of taking a
helpmate he prepares by taking n machete
"a long knife or sword with n wooden
handlc). and an acre or 80 of ground.
After cutting from the land the brush
wood and weeds he plants a portion with
bananas or plantains, which bear fruit in
three years. He then builds a hut Of
palm, matched perfectly tight.
The house being built md the bananas
maturing, he selects the woman to be
casarcd (housed). There is no ceremony
necessary. They have u family, the chill
dren are not educated nor clothed, nor
is any provision necessary. Nature pro-
vides 50 beautifully for nearly all their
wants; why should they worry about
their mex meal? There is q bunch of
bananas and plantains maturing every
day for perhaps 100 years without any
further attention. Fish are abundant IN
the stream passing Ivy their door. The
man want u straw hat, which the woman
provides, wovcn by her hands with the
grass near at hand. The weavcs
u covering cloth from the inner bark of a
palm tree, colored green, just sufficient
TO meet what modesty demands. The
man sometimes wants n dime for gam
bling, or whisky, OF gunpowder, which is
provided by the woman, who does the
gold washing and principal labor.-Choco

ONE CENT PAPERS OF PARIS.

System of Newspaper Distribution In
the French Capital-The Mosques.
The publishers of one cent papers have
naturally wished the Intermediates and
news agents to bear their share in the in
creased expenses due to the augnienta-
ton of the size. The small four column
ono cent paper used to be sold at sixty
eight cents a hundred; the five column
enlarged one cent paper is sold at seventy
-four cents u hundred. This new tariff
has provoked much discomfort among
the Intermediates, who demand n DIM
mutton instead of an increase of the
wholesale price.
The manufacture and sale of reading
matter being a subject which interests
more or less everybody who can read, l
may perhaps be allowed to enter into
some detail ON the system of newspaper
distribution in Paris. Some of the papers
have a ale department and carriers of
their own; but the majority deal with
Intermediates, who have special squads
of carriers for each journal and for each
district. These carriers distribute the
journals III the kiosques n in the shops
of the news vendors, settling accounts
each day and taking back the unsol1
numbers. Another special category Of
newspaper sellers are the ''camelots. - or
hawkers, who cry papers in the street.
There are some 500 sellers of this kind,
who howl sensational news, and who
buy later editions of second class papers,
which, for the sake of advertising, are
sold to them at from twenty to thirty
cents a hundred out and out, no account
being taken of unsold copies.
Besides the ''camelots'' there are nearly
1000 persons who sell newspapers in
Paris, mostly booksellers, stationers,
sellers of fried potatoes or of roasted
chcstnuts, and milk dealers, who com
bine news vending with their other bust
ness. Out of this number there are SAT
vendors who occupy kiosques on the boule-
wards and 100 who occupy wooden booths
placed on the sidewalk. These booths
pay a ground rent of six francs a year 10
the municipality, and G rent Of six franci
a month to the contractor who owns til.
material. The Mosques, built originally
by q private company, have now become
the property of the municipality of Paris.
which has leased them for seven years to
an advertising contractor at an annual
rental of SIS $3.50. This contractor makes
his profit by selling the advertising space,
and he is allowed to exact, from the news
vendors who occupy the Mosques. a
rental of from 81 to IS a month, accord
ing to the situation. For instance, the
kiosques opposite the Grand hotel, where
you can buy American, Russian, Italian,
Hungarian, German and other foreign
papers, are all let at So a month. The
tenants of the kiosques are appointed in
turn by the prefecture of the department
of the Seine and by the prefecture Of
police; for, like the tobacco shops, the
newspaper Mosques are reserved, in lieu
Of pensions, for the widows of public
employees or Of soldiers. The privilege of
a kiosque is very much coveted, and
there are always 5000 or 5000 demands
inscribed. The average number of vacan-
cies is twenty-five a year.-Paris Cor.

lr Is evident that the Burlington and
Missouri company intends not only to con-
struct Il branch to this city, but to traverse
the entire territory from east to west by
means of a line which shall pass shrough
what Is perhaps naturally the richest part
of Wyoming. The effect of the success.
ii completion Of this enterprise, which is
but a question OF time, and of similar
extension on the part OF other great and
wealthy companies will be to double the
wealth and treble the population of the
rerrltory in the next decade and to give
Iisc TO half 4 dozen Hourishing towns-
II is not probable that the Cheyenne &
Burlington will terminate at this point,
but will be extended in a northerly
direction to unite with the main line
somewhere in the eastern part Of wyo.

YET MORE SONG.

Signing, she spoke, and, leaning, claspcd her
knees:
We'll hast thou sung Of living men and dead,
OF fair deeds done and far lands visited.
Sing now OF things more marvellous than ihe-.:
OF fruits ungathered upon wondrous trees,
OF songs unsung, OF gracious words unsaid,
or that dim shore where no mans foot may
tread,
or strangest skies and unbeholdcn seasi

And days are fair and sleep il o~versweet;
But passing sweet these moments rar' and

When red spring sunlight. tremulous and thin.

IRISH emigration to this country. which
has been on the decrease for several years,
has received fresh impulse from appre-
henslon of the passage of the new coer-
clon bill. Queenstown is crowded with
emigrants; fifteen hundred sailed on Mon
day and three thousand await the next
steamer. This indicates a general fear OF
serious troublc-something more serious
than the merely political persecution to
which the Irish have been accustomed.
